Love is a secondhand emotion because it's given to so many people. Like, the guy she's referring to in the song has probably "been in love" before so it's not like getting something new. Does that make sense?
I think the song starts out as I-won't-fall-in-love but then in the second verse she's in denial. "There's a name for it; There's a phrase that fits; But whatever the reason you do it for me..."--That phrase? "In love."
"I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way."
She's been trying to protect herself from getting hurt, so she's scared to feel like she might be falling in love.
